(From my back garden)

My First little harvest  ;D

In a chicken sandwich, Lettuce leaves and a Radish. Tasty very tasty. ;)
Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.

I made rhubarb crumble for 16 people at our church luncheon club- it was pronounced delicious.

The first of the Durham Early spring cabbages with my dinner... they sho.uld have finished by now in a normal year but TBF I'm amazed they survuved the winter.... the rest of them have a month before the squashes I'll sow next week go in... it was really nice cooked though raw it was a bit strong tasting.... gave one to the folks yesterday too, might find out how it was when they visit on Monday......

I took my Crown Prince to my family (4 people) in Germany last week, and we had it grated in home made rolls, baked in a remoska, roasted with other veg, made into a soup - and there was still a quarter remaining when I had to go home. I knew the two of us couldn't eat it here before mould set in.

I ate my first from this season's growings  :)

I thinned some pea plants and muched on the thinnings. Its the first I've really tried the pea shoots and they'd go well as a salad green in a sandwich.

Finished off my string beans from my first year that were in the freezer. Things are very sparse in the house  >:(
